2019 Conference: Public Spaces, Private Lives

  11th January 2019

How Hidden Narratives Challenge Authority (3)

Our 2019 conference took place at Francis Close Hall in Cheltenham, on Wednesday 26th June.  The aim of this conference was to explore the collision between public space as both a physical and digital concept and the private lives of individuals, considering themes of privacy, security, manipulation, coercion and insubordination and the ways in which these narratives are revealed.

We were particularly interested to hear about the impact of digital technologies on presenters’ research subject, data collection, methodology or approach to collaborative working.  As usual, we welcomed contributions from a broad range of subjects, from those working across disciplinary boundaries, and from other universities as well as our own.   You can see a few photos from the day below.
